What Termite Control Actually Looks Like From Start to Finish
Termite damage happens gradually, and most homeowners don't notice it until it's already become a real problem. Professional termite control targets subterranean termites through a structured process that combines inspection, targeted treatment, and year-round monitoring so your home stays protected without you having to manage the details.
Here's how the process works when you schedule service in Johnston:
- A technician inspects your home to assess termite activity and determine the right treatment approach.
- Based on inspection findings, treatment is applied using Sentricon bait stations, a termiticide application, or a combination of both.
- Bait stations are installed and remain active year-round to intercept termite activity before it reaches your structure.
- Monitoring visits are scheduled annually to check station activity and confirm continued protection.
- Your service includes access to renewal options, warranty programs, and WDI inspections when needed.

Warning Signs Your Home May Have a Termite Problem
Termites can work through the structural wood in your home for a long time before most homeowners notice anything wrong. By the time visible damage appears, the colony is often well established and the impact is significant.
Common signs of a subterranean termite infestation in Iowa homes include:
- Mud tubes running along your foundation, walls, or crawl space
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Bubbling or uneven paint that resembles water damage
- Discarded wings near windowsills or entry points after a swarm
- Frass (termite droppings) that look like fine wood-colored pellets
- Doors and windows that suddenly feel tight or difficult to open
- Visible tunneling or damage inside exposed wood
If any of these signs are showing up around your Johnston home, the problem is worth taking seriously. Janssen Pest Solutions inspects for all of these indicators to give you a clear picture of what is happening inside your structure.
The Sentricon Termite Treatment System That Eliminates the Whole Colony
When termites get into a home, the damage happens gradually and often goes unnoticed until it becomes a bigger problem. A termite inspection can catch activity early, but stopping it completely requires more than surface-level treatment. The Sentricon System works by placing bait stations in a protective ring around your property. Termites find the bait, consume it, and carry it back to the colony. That process reaches the queen, and without her, the colony collapses entirely.
Sentricon is backed by more than 60 scientific studies and is the only termite baiting system to earn the EPA's Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award. It works as both a curative termite treatment for active infestations and as a preventative measure to stop future problems before they start.
Here is why Janssen Pest Solutions uses the Sentricon System as our go-to solution for termite protection:
- Eliminates the entire termite colony, including the queen
- Lab tests show termites prefer the bait nearly 10 times more than wood
- Minimal disruption to your home, lawn, and landscaping during installation
- No label restrictions around water sources or wells
- Provides visible, ongoing monitoring so you can see the system working
- Effectiveness does not degrade over time, unlike liquid treatments
- Proven against challenging species including Formosan and Asian super termites
- The system is removable and notifies you of any future termite activity
If you have concerns about termite activity or just want to make sure your home is protected, our exterminator team is ready to help. Reach out to us and we will walk you through the process from start to finish.
